<p>The study is set to evaluate technical efficiencies of lower secondary schools in Uganda. The schools are faced with the challenge of optimally utilizing the available resources for better outcomes despite increased public funding to the education institutions. There exist also disparities in schools performance across various specifications including: Rural-urban, government-private schools, USE-non USE schools. Using data from Ministry of Education and Sports (MoES), and Data Envelopment Analysis methodology, the study found that efficiency scores of schools range from 48% to 100%. Urban, Non-USE and public schools reveal high efficiencies than rural, USE and private schools. Average efficiency for urban schools is 78% compared to 74% for the rural, whereas government schools depicted 77% efficiency higher than the private schools (72%). Moreover, non-USE schools depicted higher efficiency levels (80%) compared to USE schools (73%), and the efficiency differences for three specifications were all tested to be significant.</p>
